Miami Office Tower and 1031 Exchange Properties

Miami Beach, Florida – We have 1031 Exchange news on the 1031 Construction Exchange. The 1031 Exchange is one of the greatest wealth building tools that is currently available. In a 1031 construction exchange the exchanger has found a commercial site. The Commercial Property that the investor prepares to buy for a 1031 Exchange replacement property, before improvements, must be required to meet or exceed the value of the relinquished property.

In 2000 in Rev, Proc. 2000-36 the IRS set forth the procedures to safely accomplish what can be defined as a construction 1031 exchange. In a construction 1031 exchange, the exchanger cannot improve upon a property that the investor already owns. Therefore the replacement property must be held, temporarily, by a holding company known as an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (EAT).

Investors Solution to 1031 Exchange Properties

A transfer of relinquished property in a 1031 exchange will not fail to qualify under section 1031 merely because the replacement property is not in existence or is being constructed at the time the commercial property is identified as replacement property. In any tax deferred exchange, investors must be very specific when identifying replacement property to be acquired. When identifying replacement property to be built, investors must provide the legal description for the underlying land and detail regarding construction of the improvements as is practicable at the time the identification is made. This would include providing detailed plans and specifications for the structure to be built or repaired.
